District reports California Dashboard gains and mid‑year LCAP update; reading growth highlighted, math remains focus
Summary
District staff presented the California Dashboard results and a mid‑year LCAP update showing gains in English language arts and areas for improvement in math; staff outlined training, TK expansion and targeted supports for English learners and students with disabilities.
District staff presented the California Dashboard and a mid‑year update on the Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) covering the 2023–24 school year. The presentation highlighted district gains in English language arts (ELA) and cited ongoing focus and supports for mathematics.
Staff said the district moved from yellow to green on the dashboard for overall ELA measures, reporting a 4.5‑point increase districtwide and noting site‑level gains at schools such as Harborside and Valley Vista. The presenter described Harborside’s turnaround (seven indicators in red in 2023 reduced to one in 2024) and noted both Harborside and Valley Vista showed notable gains in math and ELA as well as reduced chronic absenteeism.
District goals discussed included: accelerating math achievement with targeted professional development for grades 2, 4 and 6; sustained support for English learners using ELD designated and integrated practices combined with intervention aides; continued rollout of TK with projected 13 new TK classrooms for the next school year; and expansion of STEAM/innovation programs. Staff reported spending tied to LCAP priorities and that many positions are now filled; the presentation included mid‑year budget and expenditure figures.
Board members asked about equity across the district and supports for schools that remain below standard. Staff described targeted school plans, leadership support, and coaching cycles designed to replicate successful approaches at higher‑performing sites. No formal action was required; staff said the mid‑year update will inform the June approval of the three‑year LCAP.
